    AWD systems and donut spare

    Just one jack; if you have a flat in the front, you first jack up a rear, remove a good tire and install the donut spare, then put the jack under the flat, remove it and install the good full size you took off the rear! Seems like a PITA to do on the side of the road...

    AWD systems and donut spare

    Ive been researching the topic at hand, and most manufacturers recommend removing a good full size tire from the back and putting it up front if you get a flat on any of the front tires. Subaru even makes you put a special fuse in to disable the AWD system. I read that some Chrysler vehicle...

    Window Tint/clear bra cost

    Just trying to get a rough estimate. How much have you paid to get windows tinted and clear bra on the front/headlights of a vehicle? Looking to get it done on my 2016 CX-5. It would be for the front 2 windows only as the backs are tinted from the factory. Thanks!

    Mazda CX-5 Skyactive Transmission fluid?

    Ok, thanks guys, and thanks Critic! It's been a while. I'm thinking I'll skip the filter and just do periodic drain and refills. I read on a forum where it took a guy 3 hours to scrape the old silicon off the pan and transmission...

    Mazda Long Life Hypoid Gear Oil SG1

    I'm curious what the viscosity of the Hypoid SG1 fluid is. It's absolutely safe for a 2016 that originally called for 80w-90?

    Mazda CX-5 Skyactive Transmission fluid?

    Hi, I'm buying a 2016 Mazda CX-5 AWD. The manual calls for Mazda Type FZ fluid, but I read on another forum that the newest model Skyactive transmissions spec a newer fluid that is backwards compatible and better than FZ fluid. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this??? Thanks!

    Car pulls to left after alignment

    I recently took my snow tires off; the wheels were badly rusted to the hubs, so I had to beat them off with a mallet. Ever since then, the car has pulled to the left. 2 shops have tried aligning it, but it still pulls. Could this possibly be a tire issue? I looked online and saw suggestions...

    I'm seriously looking at this vehicle; specific car has 80K, it's salvaged and repaired from hail damage (Colorado!!!!). Ive done some reading and starting in 2014, they have a better CVT??? Anyone know anything about that? My main concern is reliability and serviceability. Did some research...

    Great chart from Kimble charting. If rates have peaked, we're going into a recession within a year and another bear market. I've already allocated for that, heavily in IEF etf. https://kimblechartingsolutions.com/2018/12/party-like-2000-2007-correction-bear-market-play/

    Dow 30,000?

    It's overbought, it has to pullback, blah blah blah. IT DID JUST PULL BACK at the beginning of 2018! Now it's breaking out again. And the total market indexes like the Valueline Geometric have broken out of the long term consolidation from 2000-2007, retested the breakout, and continued higher...
